| Super_Boom said: Yeah...I didn't really care for the change in tone. The Arabian Nights tone was really unique, and I didn't exactly feel wowed by the psuedo-modern setting. I didn't hate it...but unlike some other manga I complain about, Magi was pretty text-heavy, and would take longer to read. I also wasn't crazy about the main cast, other than Morgiana and Sinbad. I did read the spinoff for a while though, and actually grew to dislike it, despite Sinbad being my favorite character. I loved the fallen hero theme Ohtaka was going for, but reading him as a perfect hero was much less interesting. Also the cameos felt really unnatural, I remember cringing when young Alibaba just so happened to run past him one time. And don't get me started on Drakon getting cucked. Back to Neverland though: Demon-child theory...shit I can't deny it. I've actually had a theory that the demons are actually former humans that are converted after being harvested. I don't have much reason for that theory, just that this story seems pretty grounded, and so the fantasy elements feel a bit mispaced. I think it's more likely that the demons are born from science, rather than being from the Underworld or something crazy. I could definitely be wrong...but I'm trying to think of what Norman was reacting to in his last (or most recent) panel. Am I crazy for thinking he might return somehow? |
I know what you mean about the Sinbad spinoff. One of the main things that has bothered me, especially recently, is that the main story and this keep spoiling each other. And Drakon... yeah that was flatly bad.
On Neverland: What you said makes a lot of sense. I was initially thinking that this phenomenon was magic, but you see all these tubes on them and such. The scientists defintely play a significant role, I just don't at what scale. I think Norman is going to become one. Just like the girls work to become "Mama's" I think the elect boys to become "scientists". Why decision, I don't know. That is only my guess.

The name sounds so familiar. I know I heard it recently. Has the author done anything in the past?
